    stack overflow in debug_write_type
    
    Another fuzzer attack.  This one was a "set" with elements using an
    indirect type pointing back at the set.  The existing recursion check
    only prevented simple recursion.
    
            * debug.c (struct debug_type_s): Add mark.
            (debug_write_type): Set mark and check before recursing into
            indirect types.
